Dear Family and Friends,

We are gathered together this evening for the joining of KENZIE KAYA PIGOTT and DYLAN MATTHEW SULLIVAN in the union of marriage.

What greater thing for two persons than to feel they are joined together; to strengthen each other in labor, to rest on each other in sorrow, to help each other in need, to share joy, and to be one with each other - whatever life has to offer.

This is a special time of celebration for Kenzie and Dylan. One they will long remember, and because of this, they are thankful you are here today to share in this joy.

Kenzie and Dylan, today begins a life of giving and sharing, nurturing and support; allowing each other the freedom to change and grow as individuals while developing your mutual spirit as time goes by. In the art of marriage, the little things are the big things. It is about establishing a relationship in which the independence is equal, dependence is mutual, and the obligation is reciprocated.

This evening your family and friends are gathered together to celebrate your union. Today we are privileged to witness two very dear friends; two exceptional and driven individuals committed to sharing a lifetime together.

Kenize and Dylan, you are about to make your promises to one another. You will find that as you live by these vows over the years, investing your time, love and your commitment to one another, the happy times of your life will be twice as joyous because you are sharing these joys in marriage.

This contract is not to be entered into lightly but thoughtfully and seriously, and with a deep realization of its obligations and responsibilities. Please remember that love, loyalty, and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring home.

Do you KENZIE KAYA PIGOTT take this man DYLAN MATTHEW SULLIVAN to be your lawfully wedded partner, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and bad, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto him for as long as you both shall live?

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

*(Wait for Confirmation)*

The ring, an unbroken circle, represents unending love. As often as either of you look upon these rings, may you be reminded of this moment and the love you have promised to one another.

Dylan, please place this ring on Kenzie's left hand and repeat after me.

Kenzie Kaya Pigott, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love, and that I am choosing to share my life's journey with you. I give you this ring, with the pledge to love you today, tomorrow, always and forever.

Kenzie, please place this ring on Dylan's left hand and repeat after me.

Dylan Matthew Sullivan, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love, and that I am choosing to share my life's journey with you. I give you this ring, with the pledge to love you today, tomorrow, always and forever.

Kenzie and Dylan have each written a love letter to each other and sealed their individual envelopes, which have been given to their mothers for safe keeping and delivery to the altar. Neither has seen what the other wrote. The letters describe the good qualities they find in one another, the reasons they fell in love and their dreams and goals for their marriage.

These letters will be placed in the wooden box along with a bottle of wine. They have created their very own 'romantic' time capsule to be opened on their first wedding anniversary. By enjoying the wine and reading each other's love letters on their anniversary, they will be able to reflect on how each was feeling and celebrate the day they were united as a couple in marriage.

I recommend you keep the box in a place of honor prominently displayed in your home as a constant reminder of your commitment to each other.

Marriage Prayer to be read

Dylan and Kenzie, I want to wish you both much love and happiness as you begin your new journey. Remember to keep lots of laughter in your life and love will never be far behind.

I leave you now with the following words:

May all that you are always be in love. May all that is love always be in you. May your love be as beautiful on each day you share as it is on this day of celebration; and may each day you share be as precious to you as the day you first fell in love. May you always see and encourage the best in each other and may you always be each other's best friend and greatest love.

Dylan and Kenzie, you have pledged your faith to each other in the company of your families and your circle of friends; Therefore, by the power vested in me by the state of West Virginia, I now pronounce you married.

Dylan, you may now kiss your bride.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to present for the first time,

Mr. and Mrs. Dylan Matthew Sullivan.
